Background

Tanya and the Greek commander Nikos Stavros are parachuted next to a town which is under attack by Soviet ground forces. They then flee to a nearby Allied outpost with the Soviets in pursuit, where they would escape in a Chinook. However, Soviet MiGs will destroy a bridge leading to the Chinook, forcing Tanya and Stavros to evacuate to another extraction point much farther away. Two atomic bombs are then dropped on the outpost, with Soviet forces finishing off any survivors before going after Tanya and Stavros. The Allies will sell their structures and defenses after the second detonation, hastening their demise.

Tanya and Stavros will receive minimal reinforcements along the way to aid them in reaching their destination. There is also a Soviet base which lies between them and the Chinook. The mission is a success when Stavros enters the Chinook and is airlifted from the area. While Stavros is to be kept alive at all costs, Tanya is an exception.

Walkthrough

On Hard Mode, this mission has to be played pretty much flawlessly if you want
to win it. Every step Tanya and Stavros make has to be done instantly and
without hesitation, or the units chasing you will kill you before you get
remotely close to the rescue helicopter.

As soon as Tanya and Stavros hit the ground, send them east and slaughter
everything between your starting position and the Soviet troops in the small
town. Immediately turn north, then run into the small passage in the hills to
the west to avoid the Mammoth tank rampaging its way through the village.
Continue to the north, and you'll find a small Allied base. Approach it, but
don't bother going into it - it'll be swarming with Soviets soon, and then it's
going to be blasted by a nuclear bomb.

Ignore the base and head south-west instead. Some infantry will be in your
way, but the real threat is the pair of Mammoth tanks south of the explosive
barrels. Use Tanya to blast the barrels, then collect the medium tanks that
come off of the transport on the coast. Quickly use them to take out the
western Mammoth and have Tanya and Stavros move south along the coast. There
are quite a few Soviet troops hiding behind the trees, so keep your eyes
peeled (leading with the tanks will help you find them). When you reach the
bottom of the screen, look for the small crate - it'll heal all of your units
for you.

You'll receive some paratroopers to the west, but there's a Tesla Coil within
range of their landing zone. As soon as they hit the ground, rush them down
around the concrete and detonate the barrels by the power plant to take out the
Tesla Coil. Immediately send all of your forces due west all the way to the
edge of the screen, then follow the edge straight to the north. Use your tanks
to detonate the barrels in the north-west corner of the Soviet base, then use
them to take out the flame towers while Tanya and Stavros head for the safety
of the clearing the barrel explosion created.

You'll receive reinforcements on the other side of the base, so use everything
you've got to make a safe passage to the eastern side of the base for Tanya and
Stavros. Get them to the upper-left corner of the map, then stick them in the
Chinook to end the mission.
